Second, It would appear that Baron Davis may make himself a problem. He's missed 3 practices in a row with back problems. He didn't show up at all to practice today, looking for a second opinion on his back. I have no idea if they're actually there or if he's just trying to make a point about him wanting to be amnistied. My money is on him becoming a problem though.

Jekyll and Hyde stuff with the limited knowledge. First it was communicated that he would be retained, as camp neared that changed, he was at the first practice saying the right things (oming off the bench), but hurt his back on the first run. He was held out the second day for treatment, now looking at the look on Scott's face when talking about the second opinion its either not in Scott's hands (who said he wanted him on the team) or Scott is seeing a re-run about to occur.

I still have a hard time making economic sense of using the amnesty on him, but feh, that limited knowledge thing...

Make himself a problem?

He'd have to make himself NOT a problem.

Guys annually in the running for malcontent of the year, can't for the life of me understand one thinking they are going to get positives out of the guy.

Christ, you gotta young point guard you drafted number one. You can't let this clown pollute him for a minute.

Also looks like a consensus according to fat CavsBob. Very least this eliminates the thought he may help us win a meaningless game or two ruining the ping-pong magic. Grant probably used some of that "flexibility" to sign Parker. Smart play Grant.

I guess if you're the Cavs, you have to at least pretend like you're trying to win. From that vein, Parker is a perfect signing. He doesn't really bring anything to the table. He can't handle the ball, he can't create his own shot, and he can't move his feet on D. Teams constantly pick on him defensively with smaller, quicker players. But he's a good guy, and you gotta have some vets around to help in the locker room and with the head coach.

A quick look at Parker's career stats show that when he had those couple good years in TOR, he shot 48% from the field, 44% from 3, and averaged 12.5 ppg. First year here with LeShitHead, 43% FG/41% 3PT. Last year, 39% from the floor and 37% from 3. And just 8 PPG in 30 min/night.

No debating that, but eh, if its one more year of suck then its going according to plan. I just keep asking Tebow to help them Kings sneak into the playoffs.

One more year of suck added onto basically every year of their existence save a few when you know who was here? According to their plan of being the worst organization ever? (with the new Browns giving them a run for thier money)

And before we rip on AP too much, lets remind ourselves of the top free agents ever signed by the Cavs outside the Lebron era. List about a dozen or so and then see how a washed up Anthony Parker pretty much fits right in.

They will suck this year, and next...and five years from now.

The quicker we understand, the easier it'll be.

This recipe; the number one pick added to a bunch of rummies, followed by like the 6th pick next year, and the 5th the next, with zero free agents cause nobody wants to be dead here, followed by those picks annually fleeing as soon as eligible....this recipe is done very unsuccessfully 100 times for every miracle Lebron Cavs or Durant/Westy Okla City.

So, we've got the Cavs, who have been a joke for damn near 40 years. We've got the New Browns, who just might be a bigger joke, and we've got the Tribe, who is in a sports that's run like a joke, so they have little chance.

What do you do with the other 95-99%?

I eat, watch internet porn, work, watch internet porn at work, and do Grad school related reading. Normal red blooded American stuff. Also politics, go to church to wash away the sins of internet porn, message boards, and have twitter convos with jerks.

Most recently a large chunk has been dedicated to Skyrim.

Well now that we know he won't be playing (helping) the Cavaliers win any games I lean even more to just paying him to sit around. The arguements for keeping and letting him go have been made, and it will finally be resolved Friday (as far as amnesty).

"When a man with money meets a man with experience, the man with experience leaves with money and the man with money leaves with experience."

That's the flipside to keeping Baron and trading him for assets. Grant did talk about this giving more flex at the deadline. I've typed in other forums saying something like ^. Its a what and see. This mos def has us on the right track of losing games.

Skyrim is just Oblivion with a better storyline(s), better graphics, better menus, better game mechanics, better 3rd-person view, and dragons... just better everything. And you're right, it is epic. I'm at just over 75 hours (level 42) with my first character and I might be halfway through the main storyline.

Can someone tell me why in the world did the Cavs not give up 1 of there 2 2012 2nd round draft picks or even 1 of there 4 2nd round draft picks in the 2013 draft to Dallas for Rudy Fernadez and Corey BRewer.

Both could come right on this team and start for the Cavs. Then they would not have needed to resign Parker.
